Oh yeah jump fatigue. gently caress that mechanic, pretty much reason #1 why I quit.

Since nobody's mentioned it, they've done a couple of small nerfs to Phoebe changes over time. All ships have gotten their jump range bumped back up again, jump fatigue is now capped at a maximum of 5 days, and industrial ships get massive reductions in spaceaids.

(This is particularly relevant because they gave the Rorqual a module that allows it to be completely invincible for up to 7 minutes with skills, and they forgot to make said module disable ewar/tackle like triage does. So, throw enough Heavy Scramblers on a rorq, and it can tackle a super, light cyno, and then become invincible. Oh, and it has a 10ly jump range.)

I'm still amused that significant parts of the Eve codebase are named after Destiny's Child.

If you know a bit of the history of EVE its interesting for other reasons. You can literally watch them gently caress around with Carbon for years all for naught while "EVE" is left to stagnate on the vine until October 2011 and the post summer of rage redirection.

Then the restructure of "core" to "packages" which I'm sure was a lot of the legacy stuff being reorganised/re written.


Fascinating really.

It's frustrating because it obsoletes an entire class of ships.

You know, kinda like Svipuls did to AFs. When's the last time any of us saw an Ishkur or Jaguar or Retribution in space?

Don't get me wrong, the HICQual is loving hilarious, I'm training the PANIC module skill to 4 right now. But that doesn't change the fact that it's kinda silly that a mining ship is the premier titan tackler in the game atm.

Here's what I thought of for nerfing jumpHICs:

1. Make PANIC operate on the same mechanics as Triage. No offensive modules/drones.
2. Make PANIC operate on the same mechanic as the Networked Sensor Array. Massive increase to EWAR module usage. It allows the Rorq to still send out EC drones, but it can't tackle.

The problem with those two is it still is able to tackle a titan or a supercarrier with no problem. Just don't use PANIC. Which leads me to #3:

3. It can't use heavy scrams or points. Heavy scrams give 42 points with non-faction, 56 with faction, or enough to tackle a Racial Titan V pilot (Faction Titans max out at 60 points of stability). Faction heavy points means 28 points, or enough to tackle a supercarrier. By limiting it to regular scrams and points, you max out at 21 points of scram with faction (same with non-faction heavy disruptors). Assuming someone is dumb enough to pilot a supercarrier without racial V, they can still be tackled.

Of course, this would mean Minokawas would take over the role as JumpHICs as they have the same number of mids as the Rorq (as they were used when the Revenant went down), but they're limited to the same jump range as other caps.

That is true. We do do some really odd poo poo out here, but then again, we are limited because hole mass and what not. Bhaals are also stupid common out here, but then again, that's a niche role but one it excels at.

bhaals excel at being anti-small poo poo (which you're going to face in wh space), but will be #rekt taking on capitals or sniper fleets (aka what hk can bring)

Yup. I fit a T2 Neut Bhaal for around that. A Geddon is around 70m cheaper, gets better range, but neuts less. Though Mid-Grade Talisman sets are reasonably cheap now!

The ships that use them.

stabber sucks, rupture is better arty, ditto munnin, broadsword isnt there to shoot things anyway, vagabond is a gimmick frighunter, loki is a utility which is better in nearly all cases with dps as an afterthought, sleipnir owns.

edit: also, cane is in a wierd spot. AC fleetcane is reasonably ok, but a sleip beats it for most things hands down.

Fair enough. I don't expect most T1/Faction ships to beat out their T2 counterparts, really. So HFI > Hurricane for ACs? And is a buck standard hurricane not terrible, but nothing to write home about either?

depends what you want to do with them i guess. flanders would be the one to ask for solo though, it was never my thing. small gangs, armour canes and fleetcanes are reasonable enough but will get eaten alive once anything heavier is on field, and have a tendency to get kited, which is why you only really see them in large fleets or as a cheap wormhole doctrine.

anyway, how big a fleet, what kind of tank and where? low/null/wh? the only places I would consider canes/fleetcanes ok are in either small low/null roaming armour gangs where you dont care about losing them and just want the fight, or in a wormhole armour fleet fighting at 0 where you can bring the fleetcanes neuts into play. shield canes universally suck outside of having 250 of them.

Yup, it's an armor small gang in wormholes (aka yup, point blank engagements). Usually used as a cheap booster ship.

Just a head's up, but if you buy tickets to Fanfest and EVE Vegas, you can get CONCORD-ships.

The Pacifier-frigate will be gifted to everyone who buys a ticket to Fanfest

The Enforcer-cruiser will only be gifted to people who bought a ticket to Fanfest before January 1st, 2017 So if you learn about this from my post, sucks to be you, I guess!

The Marshal-battleships will be gifted to people who buy tickets to both Fanfest and EVE Vegas 2017.

The CONCORD-frigate and cruiser will be given out in one of the Summer-releases after Fanfest, the CONCORD-battleship will be distributed in Winter 2017. All three CONCORD-ships are stripped-down versions so they're not as OP as you are probably thinking right now.

Considering CCP also said "in Winter" about the release date for the new drilling platforms and it's almost February already, I guess this means we will see this new battleship around March 21st, 2018. :v:

Edit:

I just noticed, the drilling platforms have been pushed back from Winter 2016 to Fall 2017, oh :ccp: :allears:
